Exactly...

Im putting the rack together right now for visual. Hang on!

Gotcha!! The middle mount will become the rear mounts. It will face inside. Id figured, once the pipe was cut i could just plug the with a rubber tip.

Check it out. I like the idea of putting above rain gutter. I understand the cutting the front. But im trying to keep basket.Cutting here is where i might try with a spacer. Ill measure and re-measure first.

Its a cheap project if i can pull it off.

Made my own basic medical supply bag for my rig. Used military gas mask bag $5 garage sale. Just in case family med pak $10 Miscellaneous $5 Now to figure out where to mount this thing.

Man Ive looked all over. Ive been brainstorming all day trying to figure this out. Im trying to avoid cutting the front. Cutting the back and mounting the middle supports on rear is all i came up with. With some type of spacer on the new rear mount to level it out. I only paid $40 bucks for it. So its no huge loss if i mess up.

Ill take a look. Thanks

I found this online. He explained it better than i could... Hope this helps. "In the front of the engine bottom in front of the oil pan but behind the lower pulley hormanic balancer . Its a magnatic and sences the rotation of the crankshaft usely easy to replace you may need to remove some splash pans from the under carrage to get to it but it makes a big differance in how the vehicle runs check for codes first and make sure this is the problem if it is there will be a code for it P0335 -P0349 depending on whats wrong with it but it wil be in that range".

Thanks for the help. Couldnt i cut the back and move the center mounts to the back. To allow for the use of faring and basket. I will be pulling the liner for sure and using lock washers.

Im attempting to mount a xterra rack on my 96. Any suggestions on what type bolts to put through roof to secure. Ill loose my ability to tilt my sunroof unless i move the basket to the rear. Rather this works or not ill will try this. Thanks for you help!
